Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) are immensely popular in service layer applications and have been proposed as essential enablers in many aspects of 5G and beyond networks, from IoT devices and edge computing to cloud-based infrastructures. However, existing 5G ML-based security surveys tend to emphasize AI/ML model performance and accuracy more than the models’ accountability and trustworthiness. In contrast, this paper explores the potential of Explainable AI (XAI) methods, which would allow stakeholders in 5G and beyond to inspect intelligent black-box systems used to secure next-generation networks. The goal of using XAI in the security domain of 5G and beyond is to allow the decision-making processes of ML-based security systems to be transparent and comprehensible to 5G and beyond stakeholders, making the systems accountable for automated actions. In every facet of the forthcoming B5G era, including B5G technologies such as ORAN, zero-touch network management, and end-to-end slicing, this survey emphasizes the role of XAI in them that the general users would ultimately enjoy. Furthermore, we presented the lessons from recent efforts and future research directions on top of the currently conducted projects involving XAI.","PeriodicalId":55029,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Communications Surveys and Tutorials","volume":"27 2","pages":"941-973"},"PeriodicalIF":34.4,"publicationDate":"2024-08-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141880298","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While this growth opens up opportunities for novel products and applications, it also leads to increased energy reliance on IoT devices, creating a significant bottleneck that hinders sustainable progress. Backscatter communication (BackCom), as a low-power and passive communication technology, emerges as one of the promising solutions to this energy impasse by reducing the manufacturing cost and energy consumption for IoT devices. However, BackCom systems also face some challenges, such as complex interference environments, including the direct-link interference (DLI) and the mutual interference (MI) between tags, which severely disrupt the efficiency of BackCom networks. Moreover, the double-path fading is another major issue that leads to a degraded system performance. To fully unleash the potential of BackComs, the purpose of this paper is to furnish a comprehensive review of existing solutions with a focus on addressing these challenges, offering an insightful analysis and comparison of various strategies. Specifically, we begin by introducing the preliminaries for BackCom, including its history, operating mechanisms, main architectures, etc., providing a foundational understanding of this field. Then, we delve into fundamental issues related to BackCom systems, such as solutions for the DLI, the MI, and the double-path fading. This paper thoroughly provides state-of-the-art advances for each case, particularly highlighting how the latest innovations in theoretical approaches and system design can strategically address these challenges. Finally, we explore emerging trends and challenges in BackComs by forecasting potential technological advancements and providing insights and guidelines for navigating the intricate landscape of future communication needs in a rapidly evolving IoT ecosystem.","PeriodicalId":55029,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Communications Surveys and Tutorials","volume":"27 2","pages":"870-911"},"PeriodicalIF":34.4,"publicationDate":"2024-07-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141862232","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Urban sensing systems collect real-time data from urban areas for various applications, such as environmental monitoring, healthcare, and intelligent transportation, that contribute to the growth of smart cities. In urban sensing, the active participation of users gives rise to participatory sensing, where individuals contribute real-time data through their smartphones or IoT devices, but it encounters bottlenecks in communication, network latency, and user privacy with an exponential rise in data. A prominent characteristic of urban sensing applications is the highly individualized and personal nature of the data, e.g., location and time. Hence, adequate privacy and security provisions are required for these applications to succeed on a high scale. Conventional centralised machine learning approaches expose participants to potential vulnerabilities from malicious tasking servers or inference based on anonymized data. Federated learning (FL) has been proposed as the most viable alternative that leverages the advances in modern-day smartphones’ computation and communication capabilities by allowing participants to train local models on their devices. These models are aggregated by the application server to form a global model without the need for users to share their private data. However, large-scale FL-based urban sensing systems are still not practical due to various challenges associated with their real-life implementation. This paper presents a comprehensive survey addressing practical challenges in implementing FL-based urban sensing applications, e.g., inference attacks, poisoning attacks, and fair incentivization to participants while preserving privacy. We then provide an extensive survey on the use of FL in various urban sensing applications, highlighting that current applications do not simultaneously address all three aforementioned challenges. We conclude this survey by highlighting the research challenges to form a practical FL-based urban sensing system and future research directions.","PeriodicalId":55029,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Communications Surveys and Tutorials","volume":"27 2","pages":"1293-1325"},"PeriodicalIF":34.4,"publicationDate":"2024-07-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141794710","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Integrated Sensing and Communication (ISAC), as a core technology, has merged with artificial intelligence (AI) to enable intelligent connectivity, leading to a paradigm shift in traditional communication modes. This paper presents a visionary design for an ISAC-oriented unified IoT architecture that integrates software-defined communication and super-intelligent agents. By leveraging dynamic adaptability, self-learning, and optimization, the ISAC system can intelligently and flexibly respond to evolving requirements and environments. The architecture is redefined into three layers: the hardware layer, the omniscient layer, and the application layer. Furthermore, a retrospective survey of ISAC technology development over the past decade is conducted, highlighting new design principles for AI-empowered networks and multi-modals that support “intelligent connectivity” across various application scenarios and reinforce the security of ISAC. This paper categorizes the related works according to the different layer structures of the proposed architecture, and some important physical and machine learning models are introduced.

This traffic growth, driven by rapid Internet advancements and a surge in multimedia applications, presents both challenges and opportunities to video transmissions. Users seek high-quality video content, prompting service providers to offer high-definition options to improve user experience and increase profits. However, traditional end-to-end best-effort networks struggle to meet the demands of extensive video streaming and ensure good user Quality of Experience (QoE), especially in high user mobility scenarios or fluctuating network conditions. Addressing some of these challenges, content delivery networks (CDN) are instrumental in delivering video content, but they are under increased pressure to support high quality and reduce their deployment and maintenance costs. Currently, cloud-edge-end fusion technologies have become one of the optimization directions for network services due to their flexibility and scalability. At the same time, in the context of the recent advancements in computing-focused network paradigms, intelligent enhancement techniques (e.g., super-resolution), commonly utilized in image optimization, have been adopted as a pivotal solution for increasing video delivery quality. To illustrate the essence and employment of the intelligent enhancement solutions for video streaming, this paper first outlines the video streaming process, discusses relevant evaluation metrics, and examines aspects related to the intelligent solutions. Then the paper presents the intelligent enhancement process of video streaming, analyzes various typical intelligent models for content enhancement and highlights their distinct characteristics. This exploration delves deeper into various intelligent quality-improved solutions, scrutinizing their applicability across different transmission scenarios like Video on Demand (VoD) and live streaming, and shedding light on their strengths and weaknesses from a cloud-edge-end fusion perspective. Additionally, the intelligent quality-enhanced video delivery systems are analysed comprehensively, exploring their impact on network traffic, computational demand, and storage needs, and aligning them with potential deployment scenarios and use cases.

For realizing UAV-assisted communications in practical scenarios, one of the key challenges is the onboard power limitation of UAVs, which can affect their flight duration, maneuverability, and network lifetime. Exploiting energy harvesting (EH) techniques with UAV networks can improve operational time by addressing the UAV’s power constraints. In addition, UAVs can facilitate seamless connectivity for energy-constrained low-power devices in remote locations, disaster-struck areas, emergencies, and areas where human intervention is challenging and recharging or replacing batteries is problematic. In such scenarios, a low-altitude UAV, which flies flexibly, can serve as a radio-frequency (RF) energy transmitter to charge the nearby low-power devices efficiently and help enable their communications. Focusing on these aspects, this paper comprehensively surveys the current state-of-the-art EH techniques that can be utilized with UAV communications in various practical scenarios. Then, we highlight crucial challenges in integrating UAVs with prevailing wireless infrastructure and discuss different RF-EH receiver architectures that can be viable solutions for power-constrained UAV networks. Further, we show the channel modeling of UAV-assisted communications with EH and provide critical insights into the system performance. Besides, we offer an exhaustive review of recent works on RF-EH in UAV networks with next-generation paradigms and different problem-solving techniques/optimization methods.

By abstraction, allocation, and isolation, the physical network is enabled to host multiple heterogeneous virtual networks (VNs), thereby facilitating the accommodation of user-customized requirements to share physical resources. Nevertheless, a critical challenge in NV implementation is the virtual network embedding (VNE) problem, which concerns the efficient allocation of physical network resources to VNs. In recent years, researchers have increasingly focused on the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) to augment VNE with heightened intelligence, efficiency, dynamics, and interactivity.

Active Reconfigurable Intelligent Surfaces (ARIS) have gained significant interest in emergent metasurface technology. In contrast to passive RIS, which exhibits a certain degree of performance enhancement but encounters restrictions arising from the “double fading” phenomenon in the phase response, ARIS emerges as a highly promising alternative to counter such restrictions. This study provides a complete examination of ARIS, particularly emphasizing current improvements and its various uses within the context of 6G wireless networks. The review commences by laying a robust foundation in RIS technology, covering the various types and modes of RIS. Following this, we will explore the benefits and practical implementations of ARIS. Through a systematic examination, we categorize different approaches within ARIS-enabled use cases. These scenarios include optimizing the sum rate and signal-to-noise ratio, attaining maximum secrecy rate, energy minimization, and ensuring channel estimation. Additionally, we provide a summary and lessons learned along with a summary table for each category to describe, contrast, and evaluate the existing literature regarding setup, channel characteristics, methodologies, and objectives.
